When it’s Xmas time, it's time for the countless Xmas slots. These slots never become blockbuster slots, though. After all, a slot with a Xmas theme is played in December only, and to make significant investments for such a slot (that barely pays off) would be plain stupid.

The result is that Xmas-themed slots are either inferior or a simple copy of a previously released slot. Quickspin has chosen for the second (and probably the cheapest) solution.
What does speak for Quickspin is that they are open and honest about it. Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special is a clone of Big Bad Wolf. The gameplay and the mathematical model (RTP, variance and maximum win) are identical. Only the animations have changed slightly.
But yes, it’s all in the name. So we cannot and should not be (unpleasantly) surprised.
Big Bad Wolf was released at the end of 2012. In those days, the top wins were in the hundreds rather than in the (tens of) thousands of times the stake.

Bonus Info & TermsBig Bad Wolf Christmas Special has 5 reels with 3 symbols each, and there are 25 paylines.
The slot has the Avalanche (Cascading of Tumbling) mechanic, where you get a free respin after a win. The winning symbols disappear and make way for new symbols. If you fail to spin a win, the chain reaction ends. In that case, you’ll need to pay for the next spin.
Nowadays, this mechanic is pretty much standard, but in 2012/2013, it was innovative. Big Bad Wolf was one of the first to introduce it (immediately after Gonzo’s Quest from Net Entertaining).
The premium symbols are three little pigs and a stuffed pig. You get paid out between 8x and 12x for a five-of-a-kind.
The low-paying symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A.
Furthermore, you have Regular Wild symbols, which replace all symbols except the Scatters (Wolves).
The main game is quite captivating, thanks to the Pigs Turn Wild feature.
If you win twice in a row, you’ll see that the highest-paying Pig symbol changes into a Wild symbol.
Do you manage to win for 4 consecutive times? In that case, the two highest-paying Pig symbols change into Wild symbols for the next free respins. If you win 6 times in a row, all three Pig symbols change into Wilds. How nice!
You get access to the free spins if 3 Scatters (Wolves) appear on the reels. If you land 3 Wolves during the free spins (again), you’ll get another 10 free spins.
On average, you can expect to trigger the free spins about once every 130 spins.
The free spins have no additional features compared to the main game.
However, you can collect Moon Symbols. If you collect 3 of them, you get extra 2 free spins. But, if you collect 6 of them, you get another 2 free spins. The nice thing is that you also get a multiplier of x2, which is applied to all subsequent wins.
That’s the main advantage of Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special.
The RTP is an outstanding 97.34%. I think it’s a pretty good idea to use this slot to try to unlock the welcome bonus money!
The slot, like Big Bad Wolf, has a low to medium variance.
Most top wins will be around 200x to 400x. These won’t exceed 500x, though. Yes, maybe if you’re crazy enough to spin hundreds of thousands of times.
